We had ann amazing time on this tour! Miguel Angel, our driver/guide, was the absolute best—taking us on a fast adventure ride and some great dunes to sand board down. There is a short hike up the sand to reach the dune buggy at the start of the tour, but it was manageable for us (6 adults and 1 11-year old). The sunset at the end was beautiful and the pics came out gorgeous.

We had the best experience on this tour! They picked us up and dropped us off at our Airbnb, and we had SO much fun on the tour! Couldn’t recommend our driver, Jota, more!

Thank you very much for your comment, you help us continue to grow on the platform.
Good experience
Was given the option of a slow, medium or fast buggy/group.
I chose the fast group, we went up and down the dunes, fast, felt like a rollercoaster.
We then travelled using the buggy to 4 different slopes where we could sandboard, belly down.
Our driver Armando was very good.
We then viewed the sunset with a fire, pisco and beer.
Really enjoyed it, excellent scenery.

Thank you so much for your trust, it was a pleasure meeting you.
Jota is THE MAN!!!!!! We had so much fun during our buggy ride. He greeted us at the meet up point and off we went. We hiked up a challenging sandy hill - took us some time but we made it!
Once inside the car, Jota let us know what to expect and off we went. We did mini jumps in the buggy and I went up to level three sand boarding (couldn’t imagine 4 & 5!)
Once at the final stop, we were able to capture some beautiful photos of the pending sunset before other groups joined up. Then we popped open our beers (the hosts drank water) and toasted to another beautiful and incredible day on this earth.
Jota gave us so much information on how this came to be a thing in Huacachina and his “why”. We learned so much (being a Spanish speaker is helpful) but he can communicate well enough in English to get points across and have an enjoyable time!

We had an amazing time. It was the best tour I have ever been on. I am 60 years old and always wanted to slide boogie board on dunes after seeing it on YouTube. It was a blast.

Thank you very much for your trust.
Probably one of the best experiences I had in Peru (maybe ever). The dune buggy ride alone is so much fun and then throw in the sandboarding. What an experience!

Thank you very much for your comment and for trusting our agency.
Incredible experience, we loved every second of it; the dune buggies were an absolute thrill, the sandboarding was as well and the sunset was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen

Nassya, it's a pleasure to meet you. Comments like these give me the drive to give my best. Thank you, continue to have a wonderful time in Peru.
Dune buggy ride and sandboarding/skiing was amazing!! So much fun and the views were epic. Only complaints would be that we only went down dunes 3 times and spent a while riding in the buggy (Fun in its own sense). It was also not clear that the only thing included was a sand sled and once we arrived we had to pay extra if we wanted a snowboard or skiis to use. Well worth the extra money and the owner included a taxi back to our hostel which quickly helped dissolve any annoyance.

Hi Jacob, thanks for booking with us. The tour we offer doesn't specify how many dunes we cover, and it also specifies chest or seated sandboarding (not sandski or snowboarding, those tours are $50 to $60 online). In addition to the service, we offer a taxi after the activity ends. If it's not included, we do our best to provide you with the best service.
